Thanks Erika and Juan
---------------------------------------- It's a pity it's so far away! I hope everything will go well. Does the conference will be filmed? |

Thanks Erika and Juan We are hoping to record Francois and Juan's session at the SXSW conference and make it available to the public. But the meet up will not be recorded - hopefully they'll get some good pictures to share though! It's a pity it's so far away! I hope everything will go well. Does the conference will be filmed?

I'd come, but it's another continent...maybe you can make a tour around all 6 continents?! So everyone can meet you on conference...with scientist around a World!
----------------------------------------what do you think about that idea?  |

I think it's expensive :D AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

The only thing expensive was the parking.
 I parked away and walked in. But the WCG event was free for WCG crunchers, no SXSW badge required. The WCG staff were all very nice and very informative. They were especially interested in the crunchers' perspectives of all things WCG. If there is ever a similar event near you I would highly recommend you attend. Also, there was an IBM Watson thing going on of secondary importance. |

I think it's expensive :D 1. IBM has office all over the World! so they can legislate someone from the office... 2. WCG does work with lots of scientist, not only from USA...see Research page for more info... 3. it would make more easy for people to come to "same continent meeting", then going to USA...even some NATO countries (like us), have a VISA program to come into USA...not to mention flight, hotels, some allowance, etc... could someone from WCG tell us if the idea is being considered?! |
